Would y'all hate me if I told you River's fucked up Times wimey love story with the doctor is a thousand time more interesting to me than the nth "this companion has a difficult relationship with their parent" storyline <\3

#“moffat could never write a scene mike the one where Martha's family argue” #thank god for that for fucking real #if i wanted to see fucked up family dynamics i'd just watch a french movie #when i saw Chibnall go back to family drama with his companions #only in less funny #and honestly worst written lbh #way than RTD #i just rolled my eyes so hard #why is it always like family too #Moffat was big on romantic relationship drama #Rose and Martha did both #and Chibnall companions were firmly on the family side #ya know what would be fun #next companion big drama should be with her bff #Those Characters Need More Friends

i think what is really attractive to me about astarion’s character is that he balances his feminine/masculine traits so well.

like he can be pretty feminine with how he expresses himself (flamboyant, vain, showy) but he’s intrinsically masculine in a lot of aspects (his desires to pursue, protect, provide) and that was sooo surprising to me because usually it’s very black or white with that kind of thing— you typically get characters that are wholly masculine/feminine (or very heavily leaning on one side), not a mix of both (especially not in a man).

it just makes him feel much more alive and not so one-dimensional. it’s really a disservice to try to force him into a box by depicting him as only one or the other. let him be a silly little peacock man in peace

#for me personally it makes him so much more relatable bcz i am the same way just opposite (outwardly masculine inwardly feminine) #i remember when i first saw clips of him i rolled my eyes SOOO hard bcz i was like great here we go another little bitch boy 🙄 #but he really genuinely surprised me lol in the best way #he is fr the ‘masculine in a peacock type of way’ man #MY FAVORITE 🤤🍽️🍽️ #bg3 #astarion

Hot and heavy sex with FuckBoy!Sero that slowly turns into the slow, deep, hand-holding, forehead to forehead, can’t look away as you feed off of each others moans sex… Please and thank you.

#This will be my next Sero piece if it murders me…. #Want to feel him in my throat… #Hushing and looking down at you with that look in his eyes that scares him a bit… #The look that tells you this is more than just sex; that he’s giving you something more than just his cock. #Holding you like you’re a life line and basking in your body… #I feel like that man has charisma for days and yet; this love-struck unknowable depth he just doesn’t show. #Until he’s with you that is and he’s balls deep and his stomach is doing a funny thing whenever you look at him - #and it’s making it hard to focus on the way his hand is wrapped in your hair arching your back so he can fuck you from behind : #so he does the only logical thing… #He flips you over and laces your hands with his; bends one leg over his shoulder to get in just as deep and sinks in slow… #His eyes on yours; mouth lingering close enough to swallow every one of your moans… #You whine; eyes rolling back: ‘Hanta: so - so deep’ #yeah; he thinks. He fucking might be in deep. #And not just in your guts.

Been a fan of your fics for YEARS. I was just telling my friend how despite how much I read fics I never actually love them, with some of your fics (especially TMA) as the exception. Felt the need to reread some of them and saw you reblogged some ISAT fanart. So. Any thoughts on ISAT you'd like to share?

Hope you have a wonderful day!! So happy I found your fics again!!

I avoided answering this for a while because I was trying to think of a way to cohesively and coherently vocalize my thoughts on In Stars and Time. I have given up because I don't want to hold everybody here all day and I have accepted that my thoughts are just pterodactyl screeching.

I love it so much. I have so much to say on it. It drove me bonkers for like a week straight. I have AUs. It's absolute Megbait. They're just a little Snufkin and they're having the worst experience of anybody's life. Ludonarratives my fucking beloved.

I am going to talk about the prologue.

The prologue is such a fascinating experience. You crack open the game and immediately begin checking off all of the little genre boxes: mage, warrior, researcher, you're the rogue...some little kid who's there for some reason...alright, you know the score. You're in yet another indie Earthbound RPG, these are your generic characters, let's get the ball rolling.

Except then you realize that these characters are people. You feel instantly how you've entered the game at its last dungeon, at the end of the adventure. They have their own in-jokes, histories, backgrounds, adventures. They get along well and they're obviously close, but not in a twee or unrealistic way. They have so much chemistry and spirit and life. I fell in love with them so quickly.

But Sif doesn't. Sif kind of hates them, because they will not stop saying the same damn thing. They walk the same paths, do the same things, make the same jokes, expect Sif to say the same lines. They keep referencing a Sif we do not see, with jokes we never see him make and heroic personality he never shows - they reference a Sif who is dead - and Sif can't handle that, so he kills them too.

They become only an exercise in tedious frustration. Sif button mashes through their dialogue, Sif mindlessly clicks the same dialogue options, Sif skips through the tutorial, Sif blows through the puzzles. Sif turns their world into a video game. Sif is playing a generic RPG. Sif forgets their names. They are no longer people with in-jokes, histories, backgrounds, adventures. They're the mage, the warrior, the researcher, and...some random kid.

I did not understand the Kid's presence at first. I had no idea what they contributed to the game. They didn't do anything. As a party member in a video game, they're a bit useless. Why is the Kid there?

Because Sif's life isn't a video game. Because the kid isn't 'the kid'. They're Bonnie. Bonnie, who the party loves. Why is Bonnie there? Because they love them. There is no room for Bonnie in the boring RPG that Sif is playing. And then you realize that Sif is wrong, and that they've lost something extremely important, and that they'll never escape without it.

Watching the prologue before watching ISAT gave ISAT the most unique air of dread and horror, because you crack open ISAT and you see the person Sif used to be. You realize that Sif used to be a person. Sif used to be the person who made jokes, who gave real smiles, who interacted with the world as if they are a part of it. And you know you are sitting down to watch Sif lose everything that made them a person, to lose everything that made them a member of this world, and turn them into a character in a video game who doesn't understand the point of Bonnie at all.

At the climax of the game, when the others realize that something is deeply wrong and that Sif physically cannot tell them, they realize that there is nothing they can do. So Bonnie declares snacktime. And for the first time they have snacktime.

What is snacktime? Classic JRPGs don't have snacktime. There's literally no point to a snacktime - not in a video game, and not in Sif's terrible life. It's not fixing this, because nothing can fix this. But Bonnie gives Sif a cookie and Sif eats it.

It's meaningless. It's a cutscene. It didn't save Sif and it didn't change a thing. It will make no difference in the end.

But it did make the difference. It made all of the difference in the world. Bonnie is a character who you really don't understand the point of before you realize that Bonnie was the entire point.

ISAT is about comfort media. Why do we play the same video games over and over again? Why do we avoid watching the finale of our favorite shows? What is truly comforting: a story with no conflict, or a story where you always know what is about to happen? Do you want to live in a scary, uncontrollable world, or do you want to play Stardew Valley? Do you want a person or a character?

When I beat Earthbound for the first time (and if you don't know, the prologue/ISAT battle system is just Mother) and watched the ending cutscene where the characters part ways and say goodbye...I felt a little bit sad. I wanted them to be together forever. But that's something only characters could ever be.

#these aren't deep or unique thoughts they're just the specific aspect of ISAT that made it one of the most interesting gaming experiences #i actually like the prologue much more than ISAT for just this reason #its honestly a video game art piece that's created to give the player a very specific experience #that makes them an aspect of the narrative that is told #it's. incredible. #in stars and time #start again start again start again #start again: a prologue #isat #god and there is so so so so much more to say here #what a rich and complex and fascinating game that made me cry like a baby #i dont even kin sif. we arent similar at all. #i cant imagine how devastating this game would have been if i did #but I do have a deep relationship with escapsim #and i write about it a lot #and video games about being video games are wonderful #as are stories about being stories #and why we consume stories. how we use them. how they save us and hurt us. #never played a video game that used its medium so well #i bet undertales also pretty good at that but this is more so i think #stories about stories have to be about why we love stories #and im not an artsy person and i roll my eyes a bit when people talk about the spiritual neccesity of art #i think people need stories because the world is sad and hard and boring and we want to think about something else for a while. #some people need to be anywhere but here #and sometimes if you're Lil Depressed-Ass Snufkin that looks like being here forever #baby cringe-ass snufkin big hat idiot

words cannot describe how over i am the whole early days tim vs damian feud. i don't fucking care. I DON'T CARE!!! IT'S SO BORING!!! can we please move on. write something else. something more interesting maybe? something that doesn't cause tim to be woobified by fandom even more than he already is, perhaps? i mean. i really don't care about him as a charater, but come onnn!!! LET IT GO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

#i roll my eyes so hard whenever this shit is a significant thing in a fic or whatever #ESPECIALLY if it's just. damian angsting how guilty and sad he feels about it and tim being like traumatized over it or whatever #even worse when it's portrayed as a one-sided thing. EXCUSE ME??? #idk why i keep expecting fic authors to have actually read the comics/arcs they're writing about #dc #damian wayne #tim drake #anti batfanon #batfam fandom #batfam negative #batfam critical #anti tim drake #<- i mean i don't think it really applies but whatever. gotta cover all my bases

Pike’s in a relationship with a woman he knows he’s not going to end up with because he “dies” soon. La’an has feelings for someone she can’t be with because the version of him she likes was in another timeline. And now, Spock and Chapel have proof from the future that they’re destined to not be together. 

Just because we’re in space doesn’t mean everybody and their brother’s gotta be star-crossed lovers, Strange New Worlds.

#Star Trek: Strange New Worlds #Strange New Worlds #ST:SNW #SNW Spoilers #SNW Critical #Anti Spock/Chapel #I was rolling my eyes so hard #like you couldn't just give them compatibility issues you have to have destiny show up and tell them they can't be together what a cop out

thinking so so hard about LaughingStock and how that'd go down. disastrously, probably

#and ill talk about it at Length in the tags until tumblr cuts me off like a rowdy drunk after last call #please keep in mind this is all in my Brain and relationship dynamics etc are all technically speculation. anyway #so while franklydear is your more classic 'oh no im in love with him! / aw shucks im in love with him<3' #laughingstock is 'feelings what feelings / oh shit oh fuck this is bad' #to Me. #in my mind howdy is completely oblivious to his emotions #he's out here like 'gotta get the store impressively neat & shiny for barnaby! and everyone else' without blinking an eye #he starts assembling barnaby and wally's dogs slower an slower so that barnaby has to hang around a smidge longer than usual #he's out here giggling at barnaby's jokes while sweeping Hours or Days after the joke was told like a lovesick idiot #all while being like Ah Yes Barnaby My Dear Friend. My Platonic Buddy Whose Jokes I Laugh At A Little Too Hard. Platonically. #meanwhile barnaby Realizes his own feels. has a minor crisis. goes through the 12 stages of grief and absolutely panics #he's like 'ok just gotta play it cool. normal. dont be weird. he'll fall for your natural charm in no time' #'ill hold all of my feelings right here until i die or howdy reciprocates. i just cant tell anyone about this.' #'....hey wally you can keep a secret right' #and rizzes it up yk. rolls a nat 20 on charisma every time without howdy even realizing it. ig barns rolled for stealth too #and from barnabys pov its going great! #howdy is flirting back! hes showing all the signs! when eddie views their interactions he comes to barnaby later and is like A+ gay as fuck #so barnaby is a soft pining mess and howdy is Absurdly Oblivious despite being a clever & observant guy #so im imagining (will freely admit that this Train of Thought is slightly inspired by the latest chapter of Stamps by Indigopoptart) #that eventually barnaby is Confident in their budding relationship ok. hes ready to ask howdy out. #everyone who Knows (wally & eddie) are like Go For It He Clearly Loves You #and when barnaby tells howdy. howdys like 'ohhhh geez um im really flattered 🥺 but i dont feel the same 😔😭' #cue barnaby turning into the 'never again' meme while trying to laugh it off and pretend like he didnt just have his heart mr starked #so he goes home to smoke his pipe and cry and howdy goes about his day feeling Strange #why cant he stop thinking about that confession. what are these emotions. i mean its not as if hes in love with Ohhhhhh No. Oh No. #so howdy has his 'holy shit! im in love with barnaby!

[adhd-merlin]

sorry but I was rewatching some bits of The Hollow Queen and the transition from daegal's tragic death in merlin's arms to arthur sitting at the table and telling his wife "I still can't believe how lucky I was! :)" while merlin limps in the background is kind of funny

#or in the foreground rather. I suppose #I think if I were merlin I would have hit arthur in the head with that jug #also [sigh] I don't hate daegal #his death still felt kind of emotionally manipulative but in a clunky way #do you know what I mean? #the writers trying so hard to pull at my heartstrings with that “did I do something good??” like please. I'm rolling my eyes #idk it just didn't affect me emotionally #but some bits made me a bit more sympathetic towards daegal on a rewatch #like him saying no one's ever been kind to him. and that he doesn’t matter etc. #I could have grown to like him if he had been in more than one ep probably #merlin #ep 5x08

[biherbalwitch]

the way I couldn't care less about Way or his feelings, I can't feel bad for him like I'm sorry the man is ANNOYING. I would even go as far as to argue he's the only character more insufferable than Winner

#except yk winner is SUPPOSED to be unlikeable #way is just pathetic and not in a fun way #and very manipulative #stop telling this man 'love is not for us' bitch WHOS US babe was having his little honeymoon moment #every scene he's in I'm rolling my eyes so hard I can see the hate chemicals firing in my brain #pit babe the series #pit babe way

[petorahs]

me, gearing up to explain why the dragon prince's latest seasons have continued to disappoint me, that while i love the lore and worldbuilding and characters there are clear pacing issues that are so jarring it takes me out of the experience, and that i say all of this with great love for the series but there's only so much good concepts can do before animation has to catch up in order to retain the average viewer's attention. that although season 4 and 5 have been branded as "the mystery of aaravos" the titular character barely appears and that is a crime to me, that even if it's for the suspense and intentionally leaving the viewer/main characters in the dark it's not doing a good job at building up his character and i fear for the exposition dump that will inevitably happen later on. that i will be harsh in critiquing this series because i love it so much and want it to be the best it can be: *inhales*

also me the moment i actually finished the goddamn season:

#no fair viren i want a canon lovechild with aaravos too are u kidding. i'd do anything to let him manipulate me #AARAVOS<3333 #as mlm there is just something so lovely to me about aaravos like they put something in him that activates my neurons #aaravos #the dragon prince #the dragon prince season 5 #love them. love this hot elf bastard. i feel ill #my critiques still stand btw. but god its so hard to hate it when hehe elf man <3 #think im just grumpy they dont show aaravos more when hes literally the only thing keeping me watching at this point. #at first it was rayllum #but hmm.... #some of the emotional side plots are... cheesy at best.... i wanted to roll my eyes at a lot of points... its just so overdone? #is it just me being used to these kinds of storytelling?? like its good but its not anything im not used to so i just put it on bg noise as #as i wait for the season to finish.. #i hate to do this but not only is it avatar tla but also somewhat reminds me of RWBY. king i'm sorry to do this to you i really am.. #to be fair theres nothing wrong. with being any of this. i think tdp is still nice standalone #it just drags out sometimes it's silly #also those clumsy sequences where it wanted to replicate that 3D + 2D animation hybrid #that spiderverse pioneered???? i mean. there was an attempt and i respect that #overall though!! i really do love this series i think it's still charming and im def tuning in to the next season with bated breath #i have more good to say than bad tbh if i tried theres just so much about it :]]]]] i love <3

[archduke-enver-gortash]

y’know i’m all for poking fun at gortash but honestly all the “jokes” making fun of him being middle aged are just not funny to me lmao.

#every time i see one of them i just need to roll my eyes so fucking hard i could get a medal for it #‘omg he’s 50 ew!!! exhaling dust!!’ what’s the joke here. you are not funny #enver gortash

(Some people will kill me for this) I watched Neon Genesis Eva back in 2021-ish and the more I think about the show the worse the show gets, I think its a very pretty show, Especially with the strain the animators were put under. But the character writing is pretty awful regarding all of the women in the show, and even disregarding misogyny as a element (Which it IS) The show builds so much momentum just to do nothing with it, This show has a lot of potential it throws away to focus on asuka or whoever shoving her ass in the camera. The themes of human connection are surface level at the best and misguided especially for a audience of 14 year olds at the worst.

Its such a mixed bag I enjoy talking about mostly cause I can find no one who agrees with me, half of the people I encounter just enjoy the cool art anyway and I can get behind that, I just find it impossible to ignore the many many issues with the writing.

.

#Yeah I agree the show did not do it for me at all #I can usually roll my eyes and ignore fanservice but with such a serious story and such emotionally fucked young characters #It felt so so so deeply fucking scummy it near singlehandedly ruined the whole thing for me. Other weird writing shit on top of it too #I liked end of evangelion a lot tho #Maybe I’ll do a rewatch someday but idk I also feel that the themes feel a lot more surface level than ppl make them out to be #I’m sure that stuff is really appropriate powerful for someone at a different stage of their life than me #But Im not that person so I’m like…Well yeah. Feel it’s hard to connect to if you’re not A Shinji. Banks on a sizeable amount of projection #Art is beautiful thoigh and has tons of things I do really enjoy but. Man idk #Sonny Boy does for me emotionally everything that evangelion was intended to. I’d rather just rewatch that
